NAME
rfcomm - RFCOMM configuration utility
SYNOPSIS
rfcomm [ options ] < command > < dev >
DESCRIPTION
rfcomm is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the RFCOMM
configuration of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. If no
command is given, or if the option -a is used, rfcomm prints
information about the configured RFCOMM devices.
OPTIONS
-h Gives a list of possible commands.
-a Prints information about all configured RFCOMM devices.
-r Switch TTY into raw mode (doesn't work with "bind").
-f <file>
Specify alternate config file.
-i <hciX> | <bdaddr>
The command is applied to device -A Enable authentication. -E
Enable encryption. -S Secure connection. -M Become the master
of a piconet. hciX , which must be the name or the address of
an installed Bluetooth device. If not specified, the command
will be use the first available Bluetooth device.
-A Enable authentification
-E Enable encryption
-S Secure connection
-M Become the master of a piconet
-L <seconds>
Set linger timeout
COMMANDS
show <dev>
Display the information about the specified device.
connect <dev> [bdaddr] [channel]
Connect the RFCOMM device to the remote Bluetooth device on the
specified channel. If no channel is specified, it will use the
channel number 1. If also the Bluetooth address is left out, it
tries to read the data from the config file. This command can be
terminated with the key sequence CTRL-C.
listen <dev> [channel] [cmd]
Listen on a specified RFCOMM channel for incoming connections.
If no channel is specified, it will use the channel number 1,
but a channel must be specified before cmd. If cmd is given, it
will be executed as soon as a client connects. When the child
process terminates or the client disconnect, the command will
terminate. Occurences of {} in cmd will be replaced by the name
of the device used by the connection. This command can be
terminated with the key sequence CTRL-C.
watch <dev> [channel] [cmd]
Watch is identical to listen except that when the child process
terminates or the client disconnect, the command will restart
listening with the same parameters.
bind <dev> [bdaddr] [channel]
This binds the RFCOMM device to a remote Bluetooth device. The
command did not establish a connection to the remote device, it
only creates the binding. The connection will be established
right after an application tries to open the RFCOMM device. If
no channel number is specified, it uses the channel number 1. If
the Bluetooth address is also left out, it tries to read the
data from the config file.
If all is specified for the RFCOMM device, then all devices that
have bind yes set in the config will be bound.
release <dev>
This command releases a defined RFCOMM binding.
If all is specified for the RFCOMM device, then all bindings
will be removed. This command didn't care about the settings in
the config file.
